Taylor Poultry HOuse

Erected around the turn of the last century, this charming octagonal-shaped structure was built as a brooding house for hens. It was later used for cock fights in the 1920s, then a road stand and was then relocated across the street and used as a children’s playhouse. Octagonal-shaped structures-houses, barns and other outbuildings-were most popular in the 1850s and 1860s as people experimented with new forms of “scientific” living and agriculture.
